Episode 29 - Spotlight Revisited - National Eye Health Week

Let's Talk About Brain Tumours

This episode was recorded in September 2021 but as this week is National Eye Health week we thought we'd revisit this episode where Chandos talks to Optical Engagement Manager Lorcan Butler about the importance of eye exams as these appointments can tell you much more about your overall health than just if you need to wear glasses.
Lorcan talks you through what happens at a typical appointment, what your optician looks out for and some of the health conditions, including brain tumours that can be detected during these eye exams and also what happens if something is detected when you have an eye exam.
